Sometimes a product line catches you off guard — in the best possible way. That’s exactly what happened when we reviewed Audac’s HS and CHA series of full range horn loudspeakers.
Let’s be honest: horns aren’t the “sexy” side of pro audio. But in the right applications — ball fields, outdoor stadiums, industrial spaces — they’re absolutely the right tool. Lately we’ve seen a surge in projects where a paging horn is not only appropriate, it’s the best choice. The challenge is always the same:
long‑throw coverage, real musicality, and solutions that respect budget realities.
Most people hear “horn speaker” and think harsh, utility, or just paging.
AUDAC turns that assumption upside down with a lineup that delivers clarity, musicality, and serious projection — all in rugged, weather‑ready designs backed by a 5‑year warranty.
Here are the models that genuinely surprised us:
HS208 — The Sweet Spot Performer
An 8” full‑range horn with impressive output, musicality and clarity. It projects beautifully without sounding aggressive, making it ideal for outdoor retail, sports fields, and public spaces.
HS212 — The Heavy Hitter
A 12” long‑throw horn built for stadiums and large venues. High SPL, controlled coverage, and a far more refined sound signature than you’d expect from a horn enclosure.
HS121 — Compact but Shockingly Clear
A small full‑range projector that punches well above its size. Perfect for focused paging zones where intelligibility is critical.
CHA660 & CHA530 — Modern Takes on Classic Paging Horns
These ABS paging horns deliver crisp, intelligible voice and music reproduction with wide coverage and excellent reliability. Ideal for industrial sites, warehouses, and outdoor public areas where communication must cut through noise and distance.
The real surprise?
Across the HS and CHA series, Audac blends intelligibility, durability, and genuinely unexpected sound quality — something you don’t always associate with horn loudspeakers.
If you haven’t listened to an Audac horn, you might be in for the same unexpected surprise we had.
